I thought that I should post some info, and a picture on my current build. This is an old full suspension BMX bike that I picked up many years ago. I'm waiting on KC Vales new kit to mount the engine, and drive. It has a Bendix coaster brake hub on the back, and a Bendix hub on the front. The forks, and shocks are mainly just spring damping, but they do have a little bit of air compression damping also.
I've got a set of Hutchinson GP1 race tires ordered, and will mount them and true the wheels at the same time.
I plan on putting a disc brake on the front.
I need to cut down the handle bars, or I may put on a set of clamp-ones.
I set the tank, and seat on to see how they look. I need to get the seat upholstered, and figure out how to mount the tank. I'm going to move the petcock bung to the rear, bottom of the tank.
I haven't decided on which motor I'll put in it, but I'm leaning towards my fully modded Chung Yang GP460. It's a very strong, and light weight motor, that should fit well into the limited space that is available. It's fully reed ported with a DDM Dominator side bleed tuned pipe, and a 19mm diaphragm Walbro carb on it. I have not had it on a dyno, but I'm putting it in the 9 to 10 HP range, and 14,000+ RPM's.
More info to come as the build progresses.
